Love that line. Pretty nice poem you have here. I'm not much of a poet myself, but you seem to be ( I say after reading exactly one of your poems).

You amuse me with your frankness and honesty! Lots of folks don't do that, more's the pity! Too busy keeping their 'widely knowledgeable persona' in place!
Glad you felt the odd quality of this experience. It truly happened, and it was like my known world disappeared for that short bit, and felt like a century!
Thanks for reading and giving a comment, Matt
Many kind regards, Connie

Wow! That's the way for me to start my day! - With the first comment on something I've written being such kind and heartfelt words! Made my day!
Not familiar with your name. Will have to go exploring later and see if I can return the compliment. Many thanks and kind regards, Wilbur/Connie

And this, my first read of your work, left me with a big Wow! If poetry is about capturing many ideas into a few words you've succeeded big-time.

Your "warm snuggery" is so evocative and got an immediate reaction from me. It's mid-winter on the flip side of the planet and I just dragged myself out of a warm bed to come on-line. I have a heated bean-bag stuffed up my jacket so that I can rest my hands on it to keep them warm enough to type.

Alliteration doesn't always work but in your hands it's a paint brush. On the first reading it really caught me with those clever W's in verse four. But ideas like snail wakes, Renoir-worlds and density without depth leave me a little in awe.

I occasionally write a verse or two but lean toward doggerel rather than poetry. Yours goes in the opposite direction. I'm going to bookmark your page so that I can pop back at will and read the rest of your stuff. Thanks for commenting on my story -- otherwise I might not have found you.

Well, I'm gobsmacked! That's one of the - most literate comments on anything I've written I can recall. Out of the nowhere into the here - from Down Under, no less. I enjoyed your story. It was a treat. With still more of yours to go when I hop back over and read, again. And now? - Here comes this! I thank you, so much. You are generous.
That's cold there? Here late afternoon is heating up to mid-eighties. No cure for that. I don't have AC. Rather open air and heat than canned air and that hum going all the time.
Thanks again. See you later!

I know that moment! Must confess to a longing for its opposite at the moment, though. Been far too hot and dry for much too long.

Must admit to losing focus on the imagery rather quickly and became entranced with the gentle bumping of the verse. You'd as easily been describing the wart pattern on a toad and I'd have been no less enchanted. Had to reread to focus. Wonderful surprise!

Perfect... as always!

I settle easily for that which most engages a reader. For it to reach to enchantment? I not only settle, I lose focus myself!
Your words are kindness and a great pleasure for me to read. Thank you muchly - for stopping by, for reading, and for the very positive review. Many thanks, Whim. And kindest regards, Connie

You did this one so well! So much discriptiveness! Something I'm not very good at. (spelling too. LoL.) I love your poem. The beautiful words just flowed with this one...Where is it....."Shutter too long left open, Film overexposed...." Excellant and Kudos! Nicely done!

Ah, thank you, so much. You are generous and kind. Words are wonderful things, aren't they?
